We like to say we are off to the archfarchned, which we probably don't pronounce properly,to do the shopping.

Hmmm yerself Bob!!

Why? Are you a big scunner?


lolol :-D :-D

"Scottish" is a wee bit complicated. "Scunnerred" means pee'd off (sort of) but A "Scunner" is somebody who is annoying you or giving you cheek.

OH's first trip to Scotland was in 1988. I told him he'd probably have a bit of bother understanding some people. He said he'd be fine, because he understood my Mother, and he watched Taggart.

Oh Aye!

Any help from Scottish residents on the language welcome :-)

I'm still wondering what a "kind of" Scotsman is.

If we're talking about Welsh - I love cwtch.

Liked Welsh words tsampion and caridyms

Both English corruptions used in North Wales for "champion" as in "weather is champion" and those who "don't care a d*m*"

Cuddle is a nice woody word

There is a street in Southsea called Kassasin Street.

I want it to be my address. I want a reason to say Kassasin every day.
